It's Officially SUMMER TIME!

Today was my last day of work (until Aug. 8th) YIPEEEEEEE!
Although I love my part-time job at Evergreen Public Schools and I love the people I work with… I ALSO LOVE MY SUMMER VACATIONS! I'm really looking forward to my summer vacation because:
  1. I get to be with my boys from sun up to sun down
  2. No more expressing milk in the bathroom EVERYDAY (moooooooo)
  3. We get to spend a week in Sacramento with Jer's family
  4. I will be potty training Tanner... which means I only have to change ONE little boy's diaper! (ANY ADVICE OR TIPS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!)
  5. We get to spend a week with some of my family in Seattle (the other's are too busy taking care my new little niece, Tori in Kentucky OR fighting crime in Texas OR working for the Court in Guam.)
  6. I get to take my boys to play dates (I’ve already got one planned for Monday!)
  7. I will have more time to blog :)

GOALLLLLLLL!

I'm still playing catch up on my posts

Jeremy happened to turn the BIG 30 on the day the Brazilian Soccer Team was playing Canada at Qwest Field in Seattle. What are the chances!? Since seeing the 5 time winning world cup soccer team play is a once in a lifetime opportunity, Jer's mission buddy, Doug and his family flew in from Idaho just for the game... and to hang out with us, of course.

We got to do a little site seeing in the morning: Did some shopping downtown, walked through Pike Place and ate at Spaghetti Factory at the request of the Birthday Boy.
With the kiddos in good hands (thanks Mom and Dad) we were able to go to the game solo!
The Game: It was fun, crazy, loud, exciting... it was a blast!

FINAL SCORE: This is Chocolate Texas Cake. I think I have it down after almost 7 years of making it. It's Jer's MUST HAVE Birthday Cake every year! It MUST be served with Peanut Butter and Chocolate Ice-Cream. (Please note the Brazilian colors)

What a fun, memorable weekend. I don't think Jer will ever forget this birthday!
